George Zimmerman will face criminal charges in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, reports the Washington Post, though it's not clear yet what they will be. The announcement from special prosecutor Angela Corey will come at 6pm Eastern, reports the AP, also citing anonymous sources. Zimmerman is expected to be arrested soon. The development comes a day after Zimmerman's attorneys dropped the case because they had lost contact with him. Whatever happens in Florida, Zimmerman also faces possible charges from a separate federal investigation.

"I know that many of you are greatly—and rightly—concerned about the recent shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a young man whose future has been lost to the ages," Attorney General Eric Holder told a gathering today. "If we find evidence of a potential federal criminal civil rights crime, we will take appropriate action," he said.

I am not sure what the truth is..but regardless this guys life is over. He doesn't talk to his lawyers for one day and they drop him? The black panthers have a hit out on him which is more vigilante than anything I can think of and NBC admitted to an editing error in the 911 recording they produced. Error my ass; and yet no one is questioning this? The guys family is being threatened as is he..what would you do? Then the president gets involved??? Slight of hand to be sure. I am sure if their is any truth to be discovered we will never find out what it is. I just can't believe no one finds this whole thing off the mark in every way??????

I am glad that they are finally charging him. But, I want to see how the court handles it. Either way it goes. I guess I just want to see actual Justice. Been through OJ , Casey Anthony thing. Curious of how they handle this. I hope that it is a Public hearing.
